…if you answer hard questions, “Beats the hell out of me, Roy”.

…if you’re filling out a report, and under “What is the sequence of events that led up to the incident?” you begin the recitation with, “That’s a long story, Harold.”

…when you have bought a rubber duck hood ornament for each of your trucks!

…you know what a bolo knife is.

…you’ve actually told your daughter “that ain’t a rock, what you got there ain’t no bigger than a grapefruit”.

…you traded your Lincoln Towncar for a used soft-top Jeep with a manual transmission.

…your dog throws up whenever he eats peanut butter.

…you’re always at the Conoco station run by a guy who might as well be Harold Sykes.

…you have actually owned a vehicle that you started using a nail in the ignition switch.

…you’ve caught yourself checking your inbox more than twice on Monday nights if the

is even an hour late

…you find your car is broken into, you don’t care about the radio, but you frantically make sure they’ve not taken your C.W. CDs and tapes. (Bonus points: if you don’t even carry the originals in your car due to their deep personal and sentimental value.)
